Fitness coach Lorenzo Buenaventura is one of the new members to this month's award photo and he has seemingly done an impressive job considering City's relentless efforts on all fronts.

Sam Erith, head of human performance, is the second addition having previously worked with England in the build-up to Euro 2016.

Guardiola has finally delivered the free-flowing football he had promised after a relatively disappointing first season and is seemingly thankful to the team he has around him.

A successful October has seen City storm ahead in the title race and they already sit eight points clear of their nearest rivals.

Guardiola guided his side to three league wins in October, scoring 13 goals on the way.

They returned from the international break with a frightening demolition of Stoke, scoring seven past the Potters.

They were relentless in their next fixture as they breezed past a usually solid Burnley defence. An away visit to West Brom nearly proved to be their downfall but City showed grit to grind out a result.

They have been winning in the Champions League too and have already qualified for the knock-out stages of the competition.

More notably the side have been winning in style, playing expansive attacking football which has brought the best out of the likes of Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.

Guardiola arrives for training ahead of Manchester City's next Premier League fixture against Leicester on Saturday

Manchester City were unbeaten in October whilst scoring 13 goals, including seven in a demolition job over Stoke

MANCHESTER CITY OCTOBER RESULTS

Oct 14: Manchester City 7-2 Stoke

Oct 21: Manchester City 3-0 Burnley

Oct 28: West Brom 2-3 Manchester City

Much was made of Kevin De Bruyne's form throughout October and the midfielder helped contribute to the 38 goals the side have scored already in the league this season.

The Spanish boss has seemingly found the best from his forward players with England star Raheem Sterling in superb goal-scoring form once again and Leroy Sane proving to be one of the most lethal attackers in world football.

They remain unbeaten in the top-flight but do face a difficult test away at Leicester City on Saturday.
